SIF - Security Industry Federation

We know you love being part of the Security Industry Federation (SIF)—the only dedicated trade union for security professionals. But have you told your friends and colleagues?

Our “Recommend a Friend” scheme is now open! This is your chance to get paid for every new member who joins and lists your name in the referral box when signing up.

Like all trade unions, our strength comes from our members. The more we grow, the more power we have to fight for better pay, fair treatment, and improved working conditions for security professionals across the industry.

SIF General Secretary, Daniel Garnham, said:

“In the two years since I founded the SIF, we have grown into an established trade union within the security industry. I’m incredibly proud of how many members have joined us—it’s a testament to the dedication of the SIF team, who work tirelessly to represent and protect our members.

However, unions thrive on the support of their members, and it’s no secret that the larger the union, the stronger the bargaining power. By recommending a friend or colleague to join the SIF, you’re helping us grow and unionise a workforce that is too often underappreciated and underpaid. This is a call to action to be part of our growing trade union”.

Now for the good part….for the first person you recommend and joins the SIF you will receive £10!

For every second to ninth person that joins you will receive £15 per person!

For every 10th person and more you will receive £20 per person!

Join us in building a stronger, united security workforce—and get rewarded for doing so!

    "I cannot describe how SIF have helped me during a tough time with my company. They managed my meetings with HR and managers professionally and knowledgeably. They were also available to attend the meeting with me on short notice and always responded to my messages for any recommendations I needed."

    "I recently had a TUPE case and was struggling to get the holiday pay I was owed. The union SIF stepped in and provided amazing support throughout the process. Thanks to their dedication and expertise, I received the holiday pay I was due. I am incredibly grateful for their help and highly recommend SIF to anyone in need of union assistance."

    "Amazing union that offers benefits you can actually use. After a traumatic time causing me to take some time off work for mental health reasons, I was able to access the 'in person counselling' they offer, something quite unique as usually companies only offer the 'over the phone' or 'virtual' types. This helped me so much that 4 months later, I am back on my feet and in a great place! Thank you SIF!!"

    "I've been a member since April 2025, with the way things were going I thought I needed someone to look after my employment issues and interests if any cropped up, long story short, an issue popped up with the renewing of my SIA licence which left me extremely concerned, I wrote to Daniel asking for help and advice, with 5 minutes I received a reply somewhat calming my nerves and that he had written to the SIA, within 48 hours my licence was renewed thanks to the SIF and Daniel Garnham , extremely pleased with my outcome. If you work in the industry trust me at some point your going to need help, I can now sleep easy"
